Tendou x Reader

D/n= Dead name

-In this one shot Y/n is not out to his best friend Tendou as of yet-

The red headed teammate hummed lightly as he shimmied over to his best friend who was sitting on a chair within his empty English classroom. As Tendou usually did when he had nothing better to do, he began to sing whatever lyrics popped into his small brain.

"Dancing, dancing over tooooo my friend! She is my friend to the end!" Y/n chuckled at how off key the song he was making up was going, but a pang hit his heart as he realized Tendou had referred to him as 'she'.

He expected it, but he was still hurt by the misgendering.

For a long time those feminine pronouns bothered him and finally -just recently- he had realized why. He came out to a lot of people, including most of his family, he seemed to have come out to everyone... just not Tendou.

Although they had been friends for what seemed to be forever, Y/n had a big fear of rejection and feared that if he were to come out to Tendou, he wouldn't accept him.

When it came to his family, he was fairly nervous and in the end they didn't accept him. They merely shrugged it off as a phase and blamed it on some sort of "influence" or "trauma" he may have been exposed to. It deeply disappointed him and it only made his expectations for Tendous reaction all the more worse.

"Dancing, dancing, and she says!-" Tendou pointed dramatically to Y/n expecting him to finish his little song.

Y/n averted his gaze and found a sudden intrest in the fidgeting of his fingers that rested in his lap "I want to talk to you." He said in all seriousness.

Tendou smiled cheekily and wagged a finger, "sorry bud, that wasn't what I was looking for though. ~" Tendou took what Y/n was saying as a joke and frankly he was staring to get pissed.

The two had never once had a genuine deep conversation in the past year. Due to Tendous overall weirdness, they didn't talk about anything serious. Usually Y/n would keep things to himself since Tendou didn't have anything to share, he just didn't want to seem like a nuisance. It would make sense that his friend wouldn't take him seriously right then, but Y/n's nerves messed with him and made him much more short tempered.

"I'm serious Tendou."

Said friend kept dancing as if Y/n hadn't just spoken. Wagging his fingers in the air as if he were in The middle of one of volleyball games and had just scored a point for his team. The red haired male however thought Y/n wanted to discuss merely something small and could be dismissed later, he decided to brighten up his friend by teasing him.

"Does the little girl have a crush on a little boy and now she wants to confessss?~ Maybe it's a certain red head? Member of the Volleyball team? Maybe some handsome friend of hers?" It sounded as if he was describing himself, although that didn't matter to Y/n as his blood began to boil.

"Just stop Tendou I'm Fucking serious!"

Tendou had stopped smiling and tilted his head like a confused puppy. Y/n had never been the type to burst out in anger like that and it concerned him deeply. He knew something was wrong.

"Well, if we are going to talk, then I want to tell you something as well." He sat down in a chair across from Y/n and gestured for him to continue. The empty classroom was pin drop silent. The atmosphere was awkward and tense.

"You go first then," said Y/n. He wanted to stall for time and rack his brain for a good way to put his feelings into words without breaking down immediately.

The taller friend adjusted his hoodie strings and looked down at them sadly, as if the way they were positioned had saddened him for some reason. He sighed, he had been waiting a while to say what he had to and finally he was going to let it out.

"Look Y/n, you're my best friend and you have been for a while. So, I wanted to ask if... If You-you wanted to be my girlfriend?" Tendou shrunk down in the chair he was sitting in, awaiting eagerly for Y/n's response.

That's when it began to flow. The pent up emotions and thoughts and feelings had drifted into the open air and slithered down his cheeks as tears. He couldn't hold it in anymore, Y/n loved Tendou. However, Tendou wanted a girlfriend, not someone who was confused and wanted to be someone he wasn't.

"D/n are you okay? I'm sorry."

Y/n shook his head, "I- I'm not D/n..."

With that, the H/c male did exactly what he feared. He broke down completely. Drowning in his own tears and anxieties.

Tendou rushed to his side and comforted him by stroking his hair.

"What's going on D/n? Your worrying me, and you know if your hurting I'm hurting too, right?"

Y/n pushed Tendou away slightly and gazed into his eyes. "I-Im not a girl Tendou..."

Y/n could tell by his friends expression that he had lost him and explained further in detail about how he had been feeling. He expected a disgusted look or maybe a declaration of the end of their friendship, but thats not what happened.

"Oh... Well.... What's your name?"

Y/n's eyes widened,

"Mine is Tendou, it's nice to meet ya!~" Memories came flooding back. Years ago, when Tendou wasn't so weird, the duo had met and became fast friends. It was like he was reliving that moment with a fresh start.

Tendou held out his hand expectantly and waited for him to introduce myself again.

"I'm Y/n, nice to meet you too Tendou."

"Y/n?"

Said boy took his hand out of Tendous grasp and tilted his head as Tendou had done earlier.

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

Y/n couldn't be happier, he jumped with joy and ambushed Tendou with a right hug. When he pulled back, Tendou connected his lips with his new lover's and pulled back just as soon.

"You're better suited as a boy anyway." Said Tendou, although it confused him a bit, Y/n smiled and thanked him.

After that Y/n joined the Volleyball team, he was surprisingly good and in due time became the new ace. Tendou loved him so much. No matter what gender Y/n identified as, he didn't care, because he fell in love with his personality.

A sweet thing Y/n noticed was that when he wasn't feeling 100 percent, more likely than not, he would open various compartments to find sweet letters to brighten up his day and they always worked.

Today, Y/n found a note in his locker. The note said:

~Hey there Handsome!

I've been thinking about you and I wanted to know how you've been doing. Good I hope. Stay strong Y/n, because I love you with all my haert ❤.~

Y/n smiled and noted the rift of red hair that peaked around the lockers nearby. Out loud he said "You spelled heart wrong you dummy."

Tendou jumped out of his hiding spot and scolded him for "not being grateful." Man how he loved Tendou.

Hopefully you like it! I tried, really😁
